<DIV>I'm reposting this here to see if maybe anyone here knows of some reason
that Mailscanner would or would not be causing the issue that I seem to be
having. I posted this in freebsd-questions, but I'm not having much luck
figuring out what is happening. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR>I have a mail server (it also functions
as a firewall) running freebsd5.4,<BR>with mailscanner, openwebmail, and
sendmail. I wish to block an individual<BR>email address, but I do not
want to mark it as spam. My first solution was<BR>to add the blacklist
feature to the sendmail.mc file, and recreate the .cf<BR>file, which I
did. I then added the line To:user@example.com REJECT to
the<BR>/etc/mail/access file, and ran make maps. I also had added the
line<BR><A href="mailto:user@example.com">user@example.com</A>
REJECT.<BR><BR>This then blocked that address from sending email to people on my
internal<BR>network. When I tested it from outside my network I used
openwebmail as a<BR>web interface to send email to that address, and it
failed. Which was what<BR>I wanted. However, from inside my network,
using Outlook, you can send<BR>email to that address without a
problem.<BR><BR>It seems as if the access.db is doing it's job. When using
openwebmail, the<BR>smtp server rejects any attempt to send mail to that
address. however,<BR>locally, it does not. When i'm sitting in front
of my windows client, I can<BR>use Outlook and send email to that address
without a problem.<BR><BR>Does anyone know why via a web interface, the access
file rules would apply,<BR>yet they would be ignored when sending mail from
inside the network using<BR>Outlook to send external
email?<BR></DIV></BODY></HTML>
